Moments | Angela Lang - Building BLOCs

Angela Lang saw a hole that needed to be filled in our communities. But, she didn't know if she was the right person to fill it. The decision to lead an organization is accompanied by many things, doubt certainly being one of them. Yet, despite Angela feeling unprepared and under-qualified, with a strong network of supporters by her side, she eventually jumped at the opportunity to lead BLOC (Black Leaders Organizing for Communities), a Milwaukee-based group that works to ensure a high quality of life and access to opportunities for members of the Black community in Milwaukee and throughout Wisconsin. As executive director, Angela has thrown herself into a leadership position, growing and developing each and every day as the position demands. In this episode of Moments by Journeymen, we dive into her story of starting at BLOC, how that has impacted her journey, the highs and lows, and what this bold decision will mean for her future.
